This speaker rocks, but it won't roll

The Niles RS8SI Pro stereo-input speaker delivers spacious sound while disappearing into the surrounding landscape. Your outdoor music will sound exceptional thanks to Niles' careful design and attention to detail.

Thoughtfully designed for clear sound

The RS8SI Pro features dual 1" dome tweeters for crisp highs and an 8" polypropylene woofer for rich midrange and bass. Niles mounts the drivers closer behind the grille than most rock speaker manufacturers for more accurate sound with better imaging. And the tweeters are angled upwards 20 degrees, so the high frequencies are aimed at the listener and not the ground. All of the RS-Pro series speakers have the option to be wired as single channel loudspeakers.

Stands up to the elements

The RS8SI Pro is completely weatherproof — you can leave it outside fully exposed to whatever nature brings, worry-free. It has passed some of the most stringent environmental tests ever devised for outdoor speakers, including extensive salt fog and UV exposure testing. Plus, it can handle extreme temperatures, from -50 to 185 degrees. You'll enjoy "rock"-solid sound for years to come.

Outdoor speakers let you move the party outside

Outdoor speakers are built tough -- they laugh at wind, rain and weather. Tuck a pair under your eaves and they'll pump out the tunes to keep everybody smiling and swaying at your next cookout or pool party. We also have some "rock" speakers that blend seamlessly into your landscaped lawn or garden.

Niles RS8SI Delivers!

Been a while since I purchased a new audio system.... first time dealing with an outdoor setup. Did some research and found a common thread about how much power and performance you need to get serious results outdoors vs. an indoor system. Let me tell you these Niles rock speakers and some serious units. I have a 8 channel / 125 w per channel amp and they literally launch out of my wife's landscaping. Don't think for a second that because these things look like rocks they must be lacking in performance, they are the real deal, don't hesitate to get them in your outdoor amphitheater!

Great sound from a Rock!

The Niles RS8SI is a great addition to any outdoor space. The rock looks very realistic and is large in size so it actually resembles a small boulder rather than a rock. I have had other rock speakers in the past but Niles has done a great job with the look. On to the sound, I was surprised by the quality of the sound from these speakers. The bass is nice and does eliminate the need for a subwoofer. I order two of these speakers and have powered them with a 100W/ch amp and the sound they produce exceeds the level I can play them at while still be a good neighbor. The tweeters have a nice dynamic range and you can even make out details in the music. The sound is not muffled like some outdoor speakers and musical runs are crisp. If you are looking for a high quality, good-looking, and nice sounding rock speakers, do not hesitate on the Niles RS8SI. They are sure to impress.

Pros:Realistic Rock appearance; good bass; tweeters are capable of detail

Niles RS8SI Pro

I was really excited at the time I received the 2 Niles RS8SI Pro. The rocks look amazing. Completely sealed from every angle. I have several larger Coral rocks in my backyard and they blend in nicely. I can assume that as time goes on the speakers will look more like the actual coral rocks due to natural staining from trees, etc. Both rocks were set-up under single speaker stereo option. This requires 2 pairs of cable per rock. It was a tedious job but thankfully I hired someone to do it. However, I am confident they are properly set up. I originally hooked these up to an NI245 Amp from Niles using a Sonos Connect.

It didn't take much time to realize that I needed more juicy to drive these rocks. As such, I ordered (Also from Crutchfield) the NI2150 with a speaker selector also from Niles. Having given the rocks enough juicy it was time to see how they performed in my pool/garden area. The rest of my outdoor set-up includes a pair Definites 6500 driven by the NI245 that was originally intended for the rocks.

During the first few weeks the highs coming from the rocks were somewhat harsh. The bass was and is still amazing to this day! You can feel the thump in your chest as you get near the speaker. As time has gone by, I have noticed that the highs are more pleasing to the ears and the overall sound has DRAMATICALLY improved.

Pros:WIfe friendly, stealth, great bass, looks like they will last for really long time

Cons:price, the fact that these will never rival my Definitive 6500 outdoor speakers, you really need to break-in these speakers to get the best sound. Make sure you have lots of juicy to drive them. Your neighbors will hate you.

More than expected from a good looking rock

Written By A Lee, Dallas, tx on Thursday, September 26, 2013

Exceptional sound from 2 unobtrusive speakers. Have 2 in the landscaping about 20 feet from a fire pit. Provides great sound across a very wide area with more volume than I can realistically use. These would positively thump if I you can get them within 10-15 feet of your listening area. Smaller than I expected as well. I have 7" patio speakers which look monstrous to the wife, but haven't heard any complaints about these.

Pros:Great sound for a relatively small package
Wife friendly

Cons:Stereo setup means you need plenty of amp channels and power. Wouldn't even try it if you're running 10-35 watts/channel.

Niles RS8SI Pro

I ordered three of these speakers to go along the outside edge of our pool which is 40' x 20'. They are wired separately in stereo mode each then pigtailed to then connected to a control4 8 zone amp (120w/channel). I had the dealer restrict to allow using only 60% of the potential amp. It sounds amazing at all volume levels and plenty of bass. If played at 100% available amp level; we would have a very angry neighborhood; it can get loud yet is crystal clear. Extremely happy with these speakers.

Pros:Sturdy construction, realistic rock look, bass and treble sounds incredibly well with all types of music. Stereo mode is awesome for covering a large listening area. Great price!

Great Speaker

I have had this speaker for a month now and so far I love it. I was skeptical at first of getting stereo sound out of one speaker but it really does sound great. This speaker will put out great lows and crystal clear highs. I have connected mine to Zone 2 on my Onkyo tx-sr608 receiver and it sounds great.

Pros:Looks better than most rock speakers. Sounds great. Stereo quality sound from a single speaker.

Product Research

Features

Overview: The Niles Audio RS8SIPRO Rock Loudspeaker is designed for
outdoor use. The GeoRealistic enclosure has the texture and color of natural
rock, so it blends in just about anywhere in your yard or landscaping. It is completely weatherproof, and comes with a limited lifetime warranty.

Note: The Niles Audio RS8SIPRO is packaged as a single
speaker.

Stereo Inputs: The RS8SIPRO has dual inputs that allow you
to connect both left and right channel signals to a single speaker. The
dual-voice-coil woofer and dual tweeters give you stereo sound from a single
speaker enclosure. As a single stereo speaker, the speaker has an 8 ohm
impedance. It can also be configured as a single channel speaker (in a two
speaker stereo mode), in which case, the speaker's impedance would be 4 ohms.

Drivers: The RS8SIPRO features an 8" injection-molded TCC (talc, carbon, and ceramic-filled) polypropylene cone woofer
with dual voice coils
and two 1" Tri-laminate Teteron dome tweeters, bridge-mounted at a 20° angle for optimum
dispersion and stereo separation. The ConeForward driver placement and high quality crossover design
give you superior quality sound in an outdoor setting. The drivers are covered
with shaped MicroPerf aluminum grilles to maintain the natural look.

Weatherproof Enclosure: Niles Audio rock speakers feature
proprietary 4-layer fiberglass construction, making it completely weatherproof
and acoustically inert. It can withstand extreme environments, including UV
exposure and water resistance. It surpasses the military's strict specifications for preventing corrosion (MIL-STD-883D).
The enclosure can also withstand temperature extremes of -50°F to 185°F.

Wiring: The RS8SIPRO is equipped with two connected 28" lengths
of burial-rated speaker wire with tinned ends. Four waterproof wire nuts are
included for splicing on your own speaker wire. If you plan to bury the speaker
cable, you should either use cable rated for direct burial, or run the cable
through PVC pipe. The recommended gauge of the speaker wire is determined by the
maximum length needed:

Wire Gauge

Maximum Distance

16

60 feet

14

100 feet

12

160 feet

Speaker Security: The RS8SIPRO comes with a metal security
stake and a Nylon security cable. The security cable should be looped through
the eyelet on the bottom of the speaker enclosure and secured to the stake,
which is then driven into the ground. If desired, enhanced security methods can
be used, such as anchoring the speaker to concrete.
